The way some people, mostly westerners, who claim to support Palestine have acted about the Israeli hostages is honestly one of the most insane things I've ever seen. Going out of the way to tear down their posters, openly mocking their families for grieving or worrying they were being abused, joking that they probably wished they could stay for the great cuisine, and even writing fanfiction about them secretly being in love with their kidnappers? I can't think of any similar situations that have produced this kind of deranged reaction, not on this scale at least.

It's fair to argue Palestinians have been *radicalized* due to decades of oppression by Israel and that them expressing contempt for Israelis held hostage is reasonable given that reality. But 99.9% of the people doing these things are not Palestinian, nor are they oppressed. Most of them didn't even care about this conflict before October.

hi followers <3 curious after the reblogged discussions yesterday:

if you'd like to reblog this to elaborate what happened or in which fandom(s), you are more than welcome to.

final results on this being 45% multiple/all of these incidents is heartbreaking, but from personal experience unsurprising - I am startled that 26% is for the choice of seeing people justifying/celebrating/defending the horror of 10/7, despite witnessing that with my own eyes, I'm never going to get used to the fact that it's been the reality of the response. I'm almost skeptical of the nos because it's been an unrelenting stream of every variation of this that I know many of us have observed and been crushed and disgusted by, but maybe there are actually some pleasant dashboards out there...

thank you to everyone who responded, and who shared what you've seen in comments and tags. I read everything, and I am so sorry.

you're not alone. our hearts are with you.

I want you all to see this to understand even a sliver of why I'm not using this evil, godforsaken website, not that it's limited to tumblr because it is now the incessant, constant reality everywhere. I'm an "all of the above" statistic on this. you cannot possibly comprehend the despair and the depths of what this is like unless you are entrenched in it and seeing people futilely trying to combat it every day. too many people unaffected can't even recognize what they are seeing, or don't care, or are participating in it. my dash is COVERED in it daily, from mutuals. I got tired of blocking people and prayed maybe some of what I said would get through instead, but it didn't. people literally participating in this were liking my posts? it's almost laughable if it weren't so deeply wounding and concerning. this has been the daily reality for Jewish people trying to exist online (or anywhere) since that horrible day. there is no respite from it. we are battered and broken and angry and devastated. there is no space for our grief except from each other. there is no recognition of our collective humanity. I said this already over there, but I'll say it again - this killed something in my soul. every single person who has perpetuated this or was utterly silent about it (and continues to be. do you think we don't hear the silence too?) has destroyed something irreparably. idealism, trust, hope, safety. it is inescapable, it is violent, it is relentless. everyone else will eventually move on and we'll be trapped in the aftermath of knowing how prevalent this hatred is. that people we considered friends would stab us in the back and supposed allies would cheer harm done to us for the crime of being Jewish. because that's what this is about. none of this rhetoric is about anything but that anymore, not when conspiracy theories are being woven, lies are being perpetuated, victims and atrocities are being denied, and any Jew, no matter their beliefs or political spectrum, is being attacked for existing. we are not the same. we will never be the same. I will never forget or forgive the response from this, from "friends," from strangers, or from the whole world.
